58% of residents in Luxembourg are willing to exchange their current car for an electric vehicle (EV), according to a report by TNS ILLres.

The report comes as Luxembourg plans to deploy more recharging points for EVs and tax reductions following the latest tax reforms, the Rifkin study, which suggests only registrations of EVs will start from 2025.

The report shows that 11% are in favour of opting for an EV with 16% probably willing and a 31% would do so under certain conditions. Meanwhile, 45 % of residents over the age of 65 are not in favour while 42% of Luxembourgers report that they are not willing to exchange their car against only 26% of foreign residents.

The figures also show that on average 35% of residents would not opt for an EV car today and 15% would refuse categorically. In addition, 6% of the sample of the population remains undecided.

    Rather looking to solve congestion by spreading the load, perhaps we need to look at concentrating it. Michael L. Sena writes. We humans were made to walk and run at embarrassingly slow speeds by comparison with other, more fleet-footed organisms. The sea is not our natural habitat and we were definitely not designed to fly unaided. Nevertheless, humankind has evolved a method of living during the past century that is dependent on transporting its members over very long distances during relatively short per

    The world’s ageing population requires more attention to be paid to the needs of older, and sometimes not that old, drivers – particularly when it comes to lighting. For instance the minimum amount of light a person needs to see doubles every decade after they are 25, so a 75-year old may need 32 times the illumination level as somebody a third of their age. It would seem logical that street lighting and car designers would consider their work from other road users’ point of view but empirical evidence appe

    Jack Opiola casts an eye over the numerous road user charging pilots underway in the US. In the USA, congestion mitigation and improving mobility have often focused on network improvements, increased road capacity, improved public transport, high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes or ‘express lanes’ and ITS measures – all of which require political capital and major funding. Nowadays, political capital is as hard to obtain as funding because more political leaders are recognising the decline of fuel excise tax
